To Reduce Their Rate.

ST. LOUIS, June THE Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railway Com
pany, have determined to reduce their
rate between this city, Council Bluffs
and Omaha. When the Interstate law
went into effect this road, being along
route, rather than sacrifc, it's local
points under the new regulations,
raised its through rates about Is per
cent. After two months it found this
business of too much consequence to
lose, and a return to the old rates will
necessitate the slaughter of local rates
all along the line. This is believed to
be the first step in turning the tide of
the interstate regulation in favor OF
the shipper, and intermediate points
may find the long and short haul a
e good thing after all.

NEW YORK, June Jimmy Hope,
the burglar, spent Tuesday night in a
cell at police headquarters. He and
Inspector Byrnes had a long chat to-
gether yesterday about 100000
worth of securities which were stolen
from the Manhattan Bank, by Hope
and his associates. The securities are
worthless now to those who are
posted, but are dangerous to have
around. Hope is supposed to know
their hiding-place, but he did not tell
at least, so the Inspector said.
Hopes wife and son visited him in his
cell. They had not seen him for six
years. Hope was taken to Auburn
prison after being photographed for
the rogues' gallery. He is to serve
out two and a half years. Then the
prison in Delaware is waiting for him
and after that a 25-years' term in
Sing Sing for the Manhattan Bank
burglary. He is 81 years old, and
will probably die in prison.

CHICAGO, June IA special to the
News from Washington says: 1t is
understood that Cardinal Gibbons and
other Catholic dignitaries who are now
on their way home from Rome, where
they went to secure the blessings OF
the Pope upon the plans of a new
University here, will bring with them
the decoration of the Order of the
Golden Rose" which the Pope has
conferred upon Miss Lena Caldwell, a
young lady OF this city, who has given
$500, 900 to endow the University.
This decoration is the highest that the
Pope can give a woman. 1t is next to
being canonized as a saint. The only
women who wear it now are the Queen
Regent OF Spain and the wife of Cen
eral Sherman, who was decorated as a
reward for the immense sum she
raised as Peters pence.

ASSISTANT Secretary Maynard has decid-
ed that pauper children sent to this
country to be provided tor by charitable
societies in this country and forwarded
to homes in the West cannot be allowed
tol land. This decision is called out by
the action of the immigration cnmmis-
sioners at Philadelphia who refused to
allow a ngmber of children sent here from
a foreign country under such circumstan-
ces to land. The basis of the decision
is that such children sent to be provided
for by charitable societies here is evi-
dence that they are paupers and become
charge on the community even though
provided for in private families. Mr..
Maynard says there is enough for charit-
able societies to do in this country with
out i'm mporting paupers, and that charity
should begin at home. The children at
Philadelphia have been ordered sent back
to England, whence they came.

A Boston missionary the interesting
and not wholly uninstructive tale in con-
nection with his labors among the des-
titude. The incident occurred last
winter; but the moral is of continued
application that keeps it fresh.
He found in the course Of his examin-
alton of certain district, a woman who
was not only wretchedly destitute but
seriously i'll besides. She seemed very
decent and not undeserving person an
impression which accorded with the
reputation given her by her neighbors;
and the missionary interested himself in
her behalf, calling to his aid couple of
ladies who were members of the Associa-
ted Charities. Everything needfal for
the comfort of the woman was done.
Her room was kept in order, she was pro-
vided with nurse, the young ladies
brought her delicacies, and when at last
the patient was thoroughly convaiescent
they presented her with IS as help to-
yards starting once more on the way of
earning her own living
A day or two later the missionary called
and vas pleasantly received by the poor
woman, who evinced due gratitude for
all the kindness she had received. Then,
With overioving self satisfaction and an
absolute child like delight the pauper
prodnced from closet a new and re
markably gay bonnet
There, she said beaming with sstisfact-
ion, don't yeu think that Is pre.tys All
nv life I've wanted a bonnet With q
feather in ii, and when got that s. all al
once, / said to myeelf that now was my
chance to have one. The man asked 81
for it. but told him s. ves ali had and
he'd have to let me have il for that; and
true aa you're alive he did
TIE missionary looked at the bonnet
regarded the woman. opened Ais lips
and wisely recognizing the futiiity OF
remonstrance, closed them again. The
story is literiy true, and very likely
could be matched by any city visitor OF
long experiences.

Scarlet Fever may be contracted from
the milk OF cows suffering from an allied
disease. Cow. so afflicted do not present
any acute symptoms, and the condition

cry with a rag saturated with the fluid.

should not be eaten as food, just as meat
Is eaten, with addition of any kind of

liquid, the people are unable to appre-

1t has been found that the intemper-
ance Of parents is considerable factor
in producing idioey in children. This
has been confirmed by French physicians
one of whom has said that the village of
Careme, whose riches were in its vine
yards, ten years comparative sobriety,
enforced by vine disease, had sensible
effect in diminishing the cases of idiocy.
Nervous constitution and consum ption
exercise important influence. OF the
professions, lawyers furnish the smallest
proportion of idiots, while they are cred
tied with the procreation of a relatively
very large number of men of eminence.
The process of welding by electricity
is now 9ing industrially applied, it be-
ing largely employed in the manufacture
of metallic tanks and reservoirs. The
pieces to be welded are placed upon
cast iron plate supported by an insulated
u 4
pole of q source of electricity. The posi-
tive pole communicates with an electric
carbon inserted III an insulating handle.
On drawing the point of the carbon along
the edges of the metal to be welded, the
operator closes the circuit. He has then
merely to raise the point slightly to pro-
duce voltaic whose high tempera-
ture melts the two pieces of metal and
causes them to unite. The intensity of
the current naturally varies with the
work to be done.

CHINESE CUSTOMS.
Peculiar characteristics Of the Natives Of the
Celestial Empire.

Peculiar IDarHclertstlcs OF lHe NatIftS VI ti4'
Celestial Empire.
w. G. Lewis. in Philadelphia Cal.
The situation of travellers in China Is
not of an enviable kind. When they leave
Canton they are put in closed boats,
guarded from seing any thing along the
great canal. On their arrival at Pekin
they are put under immediate arrest.
Chinese customs, taken alone, are odd
enough, but their tout ensemble Ia anus
ing and sayors of absurdity. Think of
men shaving their heads and eye brows;
of the women's pressed feet; of The flces
dyed yellow to beautify them; of white
and yellow mourning; of the odd Hsages
of their daily life, where the natural or
der of the customs of civilized life seem
so strangely inverted; By their taking
dinner commencing with desserts aad
ending with other food; drinking their
wines scal5ipg hot; swapping up their vi
ands with chop sticks, and ea:h guest
si9nifyIng that be is done By placing his
chop-sticks on the top of his head.
These people think nothing OF dying, but
their solicitudss are entirely engrossed
in their care about the coffin and fune-
raj. In their eyes religious worship and
faith are an affair of taste and fassion, of
no more i'm portance than the color of
your garments.
Their staple food is rice as tea is their
drink. Their wines are made from rice.
Though they possess the grape they do
not use it for the purpose. Their mode
of catching fish ia peculiar; the men VIII
wade in the water and strike hard blow
upon the surface of the water with their
hands This frightens the fish, which
dive INTO the mud, and the moment a
Chinaman feels one touch his feet, he
himself dives also and soon brings up his
fish from the mud. Thsy have singu-
lar vay by which they seiuce the fish
themselves to iunp into their bosts.
In every other country than China, when
a man wishes to be avenged on his enc
my, he endsavors to kill him, bus in Chi
ma, on the contrary, he kills himself.
His foe fails at once into the hands Of
justice, and will certainly be tortured
and ruined, even if he is not put to
death. The family of the suicide usually
obtains in addition, a considerable Pc
cuniery indemnity, and IT Is by no means
rare for some wretch from marked af-
fection for his family to destroy him
self in the hoEse Of rich man.
